pyrojig Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 i know this might be frowned upon but I go by tube bend. like when the tube starts to go outward a little I stop. my tubes are thick walled and it seems to give good compression.... thoughts on this? Lack of consistency. Your performance will not be the same or repeatable . the integrity of the tubes may be compromised. When pressing at high pressures your NEED a tube sleeve to withstand the pressures that commercial motors require.
Col Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Its not a very accurate guide to pressure, if you use a tube support you`ll be able to put a lot more pressure on. Pyrosailor, i don`t know where you are located but i used a Sealey Tools short bodied ram, its the same thing. Maybe you have a Sealey Tools dealership somewhere in the country? .
